(b) The audiologist assigned to evaluate a student shall submit a written report to the multi-disciplinary evaluation team identifying any auditory or hearing disorder discovered, outlining the extent of each disorder, and recommending services appropriate for dealing with each disorder so as to allow the child to benefit from special education.
